It's truly an epic production and story with stunning cinematography and costumes. Obviously, we can never fault Zhang Zi Yi acting. One of the best C-actress of all time! We would be spoiled watching this sophisticated captivating lady in 68 episodes rather than couple hours movie. A' Wu and Xiao Qi love and chemistry is amazing. I enjoy watching every second of it, absolutely beautiful! As I stated, it's the best of the best! Must watch!

This drama was supposed to have a familiar storyline as an adaptation of a well-known book. So, it's going to be tough. Good things were on the set and outdoor scenery scenes; and most of cast were good looking. Albeit, not all of them had good acting and some could be annoying to watch somehow. Zhao Lusi was actually the one who steal the show as Dilraba was not quite Li Chang Ge I expected to see. Plus worse thing, she's paired with Wu Lei who were also not the strongest performance here throughout, made it another average historical drama, especially after halfway where all strong interesting plots showed from episode 1-27 were gradually changed into a boring predictable closure. It's just not as perfect as everyones said for me. I am echoing another review stating that it's a shamed that No twist Nor surprises on this. I kept watching and managed to complete it only because of Zhao Lusi in the end.
